Now 25% Creepier!

I would love to meet the artist who painted the original versions of these vintage advertisements. Or at least conduct a search of the crawlspace beneath their house. But if these weren't creepy enough to sell retail in the 1950's, maybe an infusion of creepiness can boost consumer appetites today.

This child is showing an unhealthy enthusiasm for canned pasta.


MMM... Hamface.

These were inspired by vintage advertising art. And the crazy ass montage art of Winston Smith.

New Pepsi Logo To Make Your Life Worthwhile

Pepsi launched their new logo today by sending out cases of their new can to 25 of the most influential bloggers around. They overlooked Kerblotto and the thought leadership I selflessly provide to the blogosphere, the internet and the world in general.

I'll overlook this egregious oversight on the part of Pepsi marketing team and offer my candid opinion on the new logo.
Pepsi's new logo looks like the view from inside of a toilet bowl.

Pepsi paid one million dollars ($1,000,000) for this design. Coca-Cola, hasn't changed their logo since time immemorial and Coca-Cola has been rated the most valuable brand for 8 years in a row.

Autumn Song

Know'st thou not at the fall of the leaf
How the heart feels a languid grief
Laid on it for a covering,
And how sleep seems a goodly thing
In Autumn at the fall of the leaf?

And how the swift beat of the brain
Falters because it is in vain,
In Autumn at the fall of the leaf
Knowest thou not? and how the chief
Of joys seems--not to suffer pain?

Know'st thou not at the fall of the leaf
How the soul feels like a dried sheaf
Bound up at length for harvesting,
And how death seems a comely thing
In Autumn at the fall of the leaf?

Dante Alighieri
